How to copy a column from one sheet to another in MS- Excel, with ID as reference - excel

I have 2 sheets in one excel file. I'd like to copy only the team column from sheet 2 to sheet 1. Both sheets have matching ID to relate to each other.
Sheet 1
id
name
address
team
123
Paul
1st street
456
Kyle
2nd Street
Sheet 2
id
name
team
123
Paul
CL
456
Kyle
BSM
And then sheet 1 will now look like this:
id
name
address
team
123
Paul
1st street
CL
456
Kyle
2nd Street
BSM
I don't know where to start. I know though that this can be done in excel, and you can do programming on it. I don't want to manually input it since it's more than a hundred records.

Okay so I am assuming all the headers are in first row. This can easily be done through Vlookup
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:C,3,FALSE)
Put this formula in column team in Sheet1. It will work.
Let me know if you need any further clarification.

How to cross check data in different Excel worksheets

How can I make sure that the postcode corresponding to a name in worksheet 1 matches the address for the same name in worksheet 2.
For example, I would need a column with a vlookup or index/match formula that would check Alice's postcode from worksheet 1 against Alices postcode in worksheet 2 and return true for a match of the postcode or false if the postcode is different.
Worksheet 1
Name Address DOB Post code
Alice Berlin 1980 W2
Bob London 1979 EC1
Worksheet 2
Name Address Post Code DOB
Alice London EC 1979
Alice Berlin W2 1980
I don't think a vlookup is ideal because of performance and column positioning.
I don't know if there is any other way to check that, other than VLOOKUP or MATCH function family. What I would recommend is to use the X-function family (XLOOKUP or XMATCH), this is what Microsoft recommends
For example:
=XLOOKUP(D3,$C$8:$C$9,$B$8:$B$9)=B3
Then drag down the formula.
Here is the output:
Use a IF formula
For example in Sheet2 : =IF(B5=Sheet1!B5,"True"'"False")

How to link from one excel sheet to another using vlookup?

I have an excel workbook to track my online shop sales. There are two sheets: one for ‘Orders’ and the other for ‘Customers’. They are databases of my orders and clients, respectively. In the ‘Orders’ sheet one of the columns shows who the client is. I would like each customer in the ‘Orders’ sheet to link to the respective row of this customer in the ‘Customers’ sheet. Can I achieve this with VLOOKUP or something else?
Orders sheet
A B ...
Order number Customer
1 A. Smith
2 B. Browns
3 P. Williams
Customers sheet
A B ...
Customer name email
A. Smith a#smith.com
B. Browns b#browns.com
P. Williams p#williams.com
I tried this, but won't work:
=HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(B2;Customers!A:A;1;FALSE), B2)
If you use the Insert : link and have the names defined on the customer sheet (use Insert : Name : Define name to make your names - they do not accept spaces), then clicking on it will take you to the name on the other sheet.
I had "A Smith" typed in cell B12 on sheet2 and named it "A_Smith" which then works as a clickable link.

You'll probably need to use some VBA code for this.

Match multiple columns in Excel

I want to match three different columns in different sheets in Excel.
In one sheet I have Group and Name, and in another I have Name and Email.
How do I match Name in Sheet 1 with Email in Sheet 2?
Sheet 1
Group Name
A John
B Jack
C Anne
Sheet 2
Name Email
John john#
Jack jack#
Anne anne#
In Sheet2 column C, add a Group with this formula copied and dragged down:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$B$4,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4,0),1)
See the pic above. This should give what you are looking for.

Excel macro/formula - replace cell values if value does NOT appear in another column

I need help. I have a list of 20 names of certain consultants. I receive a new sheet daily with many names, and if one of them does not match with any of the 20 consultant names, I need to replace the cell value with "X".
E.g.
1. Consultant's list contains John and Mary.
2. Daily list contains 5 names: John, Steve, Dean, Mary and Sue.
3. I now want to replace all the cell which does NOT contain John and Mary with X (thus replace cell with names Steve, Dean and Sue with X)
Help will be appreciated
If your 20-name list is in ColumnA and the daily list in ColumnB each starting in Row1 then in Row 1 and copied down to suit:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B1,A:A,0)),"X",B1)
